I think the type of title sequence used for this film was Narrative title sequence, because the titles are integrated into the movie images and scenes from the film which lets us know the genre and the tone.

Story based?

I also think that this title sequence is story based because it integrates the titles on to motion clips as well as moving images that have to do specifically with the film e.g the scene at 0.37 shows that it is a comedy and the explosives at 0.28 let us know that it is also a action movie.

Is the genre/ tone of the film revealed?

The genre of the film is revealed not only through the images behind the titles but also because of the music and sound effects in the background.

Titles used in this film were titles over motion/ moving images therefore I believe the type of title sequence used for this film was Stylised because it doesn't give too much away about what could happen in the film however credits are presented onto shots representing the location and setting.

Is the genre/tone of the film revealed?
The genre of the film is not completely revealed but some aspects of the shots link to the genre. E.g. at the beginning of this title sequence the first few titles including the title are integrated onto shots of the sky which links to the genre Science Fiction and the idea of space/alien life.
